Maybe we would even take a flyer on this girl, and we could trot her out to the mound dressed up like O-Ren Ishii’s bodyguard.

Then I found out Don Wakamatsu is from Oregon, and is not, in fact, a Japanese manager. What a buzzkill.

But I am still wondering how many wins a Japanese team would put up in the 2009 American League West. I mean, after a 61-win season…why not mix it up?
